Summary
Eighteen years ago, a boy was born with wings in Seville. The Count took action, had him taken to his godmother in the hopes of never seeing him again. Eighteen years later, Cherubino lives in the palace of Aguas Frescas with no knowledge of his origins, nor the scars on his back. He loves a girl his own age, but though his love comes so easy in songs and poetry, telling her is impossible.
Frustrated by everyone's ability to love and wed, surrounded by men but not knowing how to be a man, the boy has no idea what to do with his feelings. Until one day, a short while after that crazy day of marriages, they burst through his back in the form of wings.
A story where Cherubino is a literal angel, just as much of a fool, and Barbarina is the only one with a braincell in that entire palace. This was written along a list of Angeltober prompts, but I'm compiling the scenes in chronological order in this fanfic.
I will do my best for weekly updates! The fic is about 35k words.
